Chapter 653: Lights Out

Center of the Universe, Oua.

"We failed."

At the Green Lantern Corps headquarters, Hal Jordan hovers above a projected void with an entire universe beneath him. Colorful light was crisscrossing the starry sky under his feet, densely bursting, and the continuous colored lantern war was raging in countless star fields.

"The Green Lantern Corps are getting more and more results."

Guy Gardner floated around him with his arms folded.

"I don't call it a failure."

"If you mean 'results', it's more and more conflict." Hal closed his eyes, rubbed the bridge of his nose and shook his head, "The remnants of the Senistto Legion are disappearing, and the activity area of the red light is temporarily compressed and controlled by the legion

But there is still conflict, and that's what I'm worried about. ”

"Wait," Gai frowned, "you can't be talking that nonsense before thinking about those old things, are you?" What prophecy, fate, and so on? Since when did you start believing in this? ”

Hal was silent.

Yes, it is true that he once did not believe it, but that was when he was a warrior to be reckless. Now he has to think about more people, for the bigger picture, and he has to look ahead.

The prophecies of the Book of Europe and Araja are being confirmed step by step, new spectrums beyond the green light are constantly emerging, and the war of color lights has broken out. If the prophecy is correct, then the next step will be the darkest night.

Shen You's side seems to say that there has been progress, but there is not the slightest clue on the Green Lantern Legion's side. This made him a little uneasy.

"Cover, have you ever felt for a while."

Hal hesitated.

"What?"

"I just think, maybe I'm not the right person?" Hal said, "As a Legion leader? ”

"Oh, I don't think you've ever done it." Gai hummed, "If you want me to say that you can't even manage a toilet." ”

"I'm serious." Haldau.

It has not been a day or two since Gai joined the legion, and he has made a lot of meritorious contributions in the process of fighting in various sectors, and his promotion in the legion is also rapid. Now he is still nominally superior to Hal, but in fact he is already a good buddy.

"Seriously?"

Guy frowned.

"And what are you smoking?"

"Because as you said, I'm discovering more and more that maybe I really don't have that talent. Guardians. Of course, I don't mean to agree with them, and I still can't forgive them for many of the decisions they made, but I'm starting to understand many of the reasons for that more and more.

I was thinking that maybe I should get Ganther back to the Legion, who would be a much better leader than I was. Or maybe even calling Mr. Shen would be much stronger than it is now.

As far as I know, he's been acting on the Solstice Solstice for a long time, and maybe he's already in place. But the Green Lantern Corps have not made much progress under my leadership."

"Hey, don't think about it."

Gai interrupted him and said angrily.

"It won't come to you if you think about it, you're not that material."

After a pause, he snorted and smiled.

"If you want me to say, since you think you can't do that, then I have a good idea. Let Lao Gai be the leader, and make sure that he is better than you. ”

"You?" Hal smiled dumbly, "Come on, you can get the entire legion out of the fire pit in three days." I'll choose to do it myself. ”

"Cut, who do you look down on?"

Gai pursed his lips, and was not angry, only laughed.

"But that's right. You see, you're pushing yourself to do something you're not good at in the first place. Use your brain, look ahead, and always think about the consequences of each decision.

So let me ask, are these things that made you the greatest Green Lantern? Oh, and to add, it's the greatest Green Lantern besides me, you know.

The point is, you're Hal Jordan, not some kind of Guardian of the Universe. Sitting in this position doesn't directly change who you are. How you have done miracles in the past, how you have become great, you can lead the legion to do the same.

Or do you have lost that self-confidence? That's not a big problem, Lao Gai is ready at any time. As long as you say a word, if you can't do it, I'll come, I think I can. ”

As he spoke, he crossed his waist and straightened his chest.

"Okay, I've imagined that picture, maybe I'll do it myself."

Hal paused and smiled.

"Thanks, Gay."

"Where's Nima with me?"

"Well, maybe you're right. I should reconsider. What's up? ”

As Hal spoke, he received a communication from the Lantern Ring. He held up the Lamp Ring, and the green light in it cast a shadow of the Lamp Regiment's secretary, Salak.

"It's Master Ganse, Leader Jordan. He wants to see you. He said it was urgent. ”

Hal raised an eyebrow.

He exited the command room, and as soon as he saw Ganser, he saw the little blue man who he hadn't seen for a long time hurriedly fly up.

"Calling the Lampman, Jordan! All Green Lanterns! No matter where you are! ”

"Oh, speak slowly, Ganser. What's the situation? "Haldau.

"There's no time to slow down, it's the Book of Europe, and a new chapter has appeared. Things are developing, and the forbidden prophecy has come true! ”

Ganser shouted.

"The dead begin to fight back, the world will be turned upside down, and the night of darkness is coming!"

"Huh?" Hal was taken aback by the sudden warning, "When?" ”

"Right now!"

Earth, seaside city, suburbs.

At this time, the black hand was already completely surrounded by the pitch-black aura. The darkness of death covered his whole body, so thick that he couldn't even see the outline of the black hand.

It's like the various energy manifestations of other colored lights, but it's just a version of death. The embodiment of death enveloped the black hand into a giant that stood up to the sky, and even the breath he exhaled became heavy and oppressive, and the whole world seemed to be divided into the realm of the underworld.

"Light I hate that light." The voice of the black hand came muffled from it, "You two. Even more annoying than Green Lantern. ”

Before William Hand became a black hand, he felt extremely uneasy when he first met Green Lantern in his life.

It was as if he was born a believer in darkness and instinctively hated light.

Every time he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the shining green light, which pierced his eyes. The light from the Green Lantern kept him from sleeping.

He dug open the graveyard and hid himself deep under the grave, but he could still see the light of the lamp ring shining too brightly, like the day in the night, and he never had peace.

At that moment he knew that he had to let it go out.

After that, until the end of the rest of his life, he devoted himself to extinguishing that light. And now, he was confronted with a brighter and more disturbing light than the Green Lantern he had seen back then.

"Must. Turn it off. The black hand gritted his teeth, "The peaceful new world, the new big family, don't need you. ”

"Don't worry, William Hand."

A voice rang out beside him.

When he turned around, he saw a phantom figure already appearing in mid-air. A little blue-skinned man, wrapped in a wide, rotten robe, but covered in a plague-like black vein.

Dark Guardian.

"You are the appointed one chosen by our Lord, and the messenger of our Lord. Now is the time. ”

The Dark Guardian floated in mid-air, his pupils as black as a universe without stars.

"The eternal night is coming here, and the last light of the world is extinguished tonight!"
